Key Topics - ICNEM promotes the understanding of the elastic nonlinear behavior of solids and soft matter. The conference focuses both on basic research and applications and represents the state of the art in this domain. Topics include...
Elastic nonlinear behavior of Earth materials, industrial materials and granular media in general.
Advancements in theoretical approaches.
Modeling and simulation of nonlinear elasticity.
Characterization of nonlinear material properties.
Applications of nonlinear elasticity to nondestructive evaluation of materials.
Elastic nonlinear behavior in medicine.
Time reverse acoustics as it applies to probing the elastic nonlinear behavior of materials.
The role of elastic nonlinear behavior in slip/avalanche physics and triggering of slip by nonlinear acoustical waves.
Earthquakes and geophysics.
